Zombie Road (2018)

After watching Zombie Road, my biggest questions is…what was this supposed to be?

As a college project, I applaud it. It’s just really hard to tell what its supposed to be.

A Shotgun Wielding Stunt Woman

The opening scene loops, then a radio announcer gives the movie a touch of direction. We also get a fight scene that ends with a little twist.

According to IMDB, this is the only media the star, Aileen McGuinness has been in. For some strange reason, I couldn’t stop thinking that this little project was all created. Was the writer/producer, Michael Hennessy was just trying to get a date with the girl. Do I have any reason to think that? No, I was just trying to figure out why this little short was created. The two reasons I came up with were, trying to get a date, and college project. I guess it could have been either or, or both.

Zombie Road Scoring

Zombie Road is a little over 20 minutes, but a lot of it is the same footage is repeated. I would have tightened it up and made it 10 minutes. Cutting out the repeats would have created a better end product. If this was a college project I’d have given it a 75/100. But as a stand alone short I’m giving it 22/100. One point per minute of my life this took to watch.

FYI, if you like the Toy Shotgun, I’m pretty sure they just spray painted one of these Toy Shotguns black.

Remains (2011)

Remains doesn’t waste any time with the setup. A bomb goes off in the distance and the beginning of the end of the world has started. Anyone exposed to the blast turns into a flesh hungry Zombie. This leaves the small group of survivors in Reno Nevada in a struggle for their lives.

As I was watching it I couldn’t help but start to wonder if the writers had seen Train to Busan. And the Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula. Especially after the Zombies go dormant in the dark, and the survivors use a remote controlled car to distract the Zombies.

Remote Controlled Car As A Distraction

Then I did some digging. Remains was made in 2011, and predates both of those movies by at least six years. I guess that means that maybe the writers of Train to Busan had watched Remains instead.

You will also recognize several famous actors, which isn’t always the case in some little known Zombie movies. Of course the main character Tom, is played by Grant Bowler, and he’s been in a ton of movies. Ramsay is played by Lance Reddick, better known as Charon, the hotel manager from John Wick. (FYI, don’t be disappointed, he’s only in it for a few minutes.) Rest in peace Lance, you were amazing in everything I ever saw you in.

Spoilers Below

As the movie progresses, the tone changes. The military convoy becomes the “bad guys” instead of the Zombies. This is when things started to remind me of Night of the Comet. Which came out in 1984. The soldiers who show up in Remains don’t last long. After trying to steal food, Tom leads some of the soldiers into an ambush and lets the zombies take care of the rest.

With the hotel compromised, Tom and Tori decide to try and get out of town again. This leads to an amusing, if failed, attempt to use a tiny car to escape the garage.

Small Car Escape – Maybe

After retreating to the roof, Tom and Tori watch as the general’s daughter Cindy spins her vehicle out. They of course decide to go help and Tom uses a magic show “Hamster Wheel” prop to save Cindy.

Hamster Wheel Rescue

While our three survivors are resting for the night, the new breed of more dangerous Zombies that Cindy warned them about have flooded into town. It’s time to escape or die. With the help of the bomb that Cindy had on her, they hope they might just be able to escape.

Cindy almost bites it because of her long hair, and then Tori’s true nature comes to the forefront as she decides to go it alone after cold clocking Tom and bashing Cindy in the face.

What happens to bad friends? They get their lips bitten off before getting caught in a bomb blast, then swarmed by a horde.

Tori Buffet Is Served

When the second bomb goes off it gives Tom and Cindy just the distraction they need to get in the car and head out.

Somehow Tori is still mostly in once piece. Or at least kind of. Now she is turned into a super badass zombie. You know, just in case someone wants to make a second movie.

Remains Scoring

Remains scored a 71/100 and is Worth Your Time. It is what I would call a Popcorn Movie, its fun to watch, and consistent from start to end. I was really happily surprised with just how well done Remains was. This was a low budget movie. According to the internet, it was only one million bucks to make, which is nothing when it comes to movies. Even in 2011.

Dead Trigger (2017)

A virus has killed billions and turned others into zombies. Unable to stop the spread, the government creates a video game. That is the one liner from the Dead Trigger’s website (paraphrased). Let’s see how this Dolph Lundgren vehicle stands up against its peers.

The director of Dead Trigger is clearly a fan of Starship Troopers. From the opening scenes of of the rally to join the “forces” to the zombie necropsy, this feels like someone just took the Starship Troopers script and tried to make it into a Zombie Movie.

The highlight of the training was the shotgun “accident” which made me laugh. I didn’t like the fact that the Zombies don’t seem to require headshots to kill them. What kind of Zombie Movie doesn’t use that as canon?

I guess these kids were suppose to be good Zombie Killers because they played video games? Why would anyone send this group of very green goofballs on a critical mission? A lot of the story just doesn’t make any sense.

There is an attempt to blend the “bad guy politician” with the story, as well as the tried and true, “we were working on a cure for cancer” as the root cause, but Dead Trigger never really hits on all cylinders at once.

The filmography is high quality, but the special effects are hit or miss. Some of the effects looked top notch, but some of the Zombies had really poorly done makeup on. The acting was C+ to B – at best. They were trying, but sometimes the dialogue they were given was just bad, which made the actors look bad.

Dead Trigger Scoring

My advice is to wait for a rainy day, get drunk, then turn on Dead Trigger as it is just a few points away from being in Just Bad territory at 35/100.

The Dead Don’t Die (2019)

The first thing you are going to notice about The Dead Don’t Die is the all star cast. It is just jam packed with A List actors. Bill Murray plays Chief Cliff Robertson. He’s clearly been a fixture of the town for decades and knows just about everyone. Adam Driver plays Officer Ronnie Peterson.

I’m going to describe The Dead Don’t Die as quirky. Up until the thirty minute mark I was thinking this might have been an art house piece where the zombies were going to be some type of symbolic representation of society. But no, we get to see two women get eaten in the diner right around the thirty minute mark.

Diner Snacks

Once the Zombies start showing up things rapidly get out of control. The town is overrun, and no one is safe. Ronnie has been saying throughout the movie that things are going to end badly, and he’s absolutely right. Almost everyone dies, but even worse, the movie just kind of takes a hard left that didn’t make any sense to me. Even in a spoof and then ended in a very predictable way.

The Dead Don’t Die Scoring

The Dead Don’t Die scored a 43/100, making it a Rainy Day Movie.

What cost it points? At about the 1:30 mark Ronnie breaks the 4rth wall. Chief Robertson asks him why he’s been so sure the whole time that things would end up badly. Ronnie tells him its because of the script. When I’m watching movies, I don’t want to be reminded that its a movie. The only thing that really earned this movie points was Bill Murray. He can take pretty much anything and make it worth a try. There were some amazing moments, which got The Dead Don’t Die the points it received, but overall I didn’t feel like it had a story that worked. Why the hell was the mortician an Alien? It didn’t feel like it fit to me, even in a spoofy movie.

Shadow in the Cloud (2021)

Today was the last day of holiday for me and I wanted to get drunk and watch a movie, and generally be lazy all day. The alcohol was easy, the movie was a bit harder to find. After a few months of quarantine, there isn’t a whole lot of unwatched media out there, know what I mean?

So I was really excited when I saw this new movie, Shadow in the Cloud. Chloë Grace Moretz plays Maude Garrett, a woman trying to escape her past, any way she can. This ends up with Maude on a WW2 bomber, which just so happens to be the target of both Japanese fighters, and a gremlin.

Shadow in the Cloud Scoring

The acting was top notch, Chloë Grace Moretz is an A Lister after all, but the overall story was fairly standard. This felt a lot like a really well done episode of the Twilight Zone. There was plenty of action, just not a whole lot of plot, but even so, it was really well done, so why a 66/100?

The main reason is the price. I paid $25 bucks for this, and that was just too much. At $10 bucks this would have been an 80/100 based on value for the buck. Even so, this is still Worth Your Time, even if its only by a single point. My honest feedback is to wait a few weeks until the price drops a bit though.

Deadlocked (2020)

Deadlocked is a movie that takes almost entirely in elevator. A small group is stranded in an elevator just as the Zombie Apocalypse starts. It is an interesting idea but there were clearly limitations on what the production team was able to pull off.

Deadlocked Score

Deadlocked is a low budget movie. If you are expecting a ton of action and CGI, this might not be the flick for you. If this were a college project I’d likely give it an 85, but as a commercial Zombie Movie I’m giving it a 35/100, putting it just a single point into Rainy Day Movie territory. Just a few points lower and it would have been a “Just Bad” movie.

The good news is that the movie did get better as it went along. It starts really slow, but does pick up during the last 20 minutes or so. My advice is to have a few drinks, and save Deadlocked for a really rainy, dreary day.

Strain 100 (2020)

For fans of Demolition Ranch/Off The Ranch, you are going to recognize Matt and Hickock45. They had teased this zombie movie some time ago, and now it is out. Strain 100 has a simple, straight forward premise. A woman is in a car accident and when she wakes up, people are snacking on people.

My first thought as I watched the first few minutes was surprise. I was honestly not expecting the level of cinematography. A part of me was assuming this was going to be college movie project quality. So it was a pleasant surprise how good the cinematography was. Unfortunately, the professional quality of the cinematography didn’t carry over to the special effects. They might have had a high quality camera but that didn’t leave much money left over for special effects. The blood squirts are B- to straight B quality at best.

Time to Run

After a brief into where a scientist panics and tells her daughter Jesse to get someplace safe and hold up. The next thing we see is how Jesse ends up on the side of the road. Literally, we see her in her car which is on its side, on the road.

Jesse’s girlfriend, who she was trying to save after the girl was bitten at camp, has turned. This leads to a nice bit of gore in the car as Jesse is forced to kill her first Zombie. I guess her friend was still “fresh” enough to have a lot of liquid blood on board.

Jesse Gets her First Zombie Kill

As she runs, we get the obligatory, kid zombie scene as well. It is just a random scene inserted for fun before Jesse finds her way into a strangers house.

Zombie Piñata Party

Inside the house Jesse listens to a stranger’s voicemails? This made me think it was her house at first – because why else listen to them? But it turns out its just the first house she found with an unlocked door.

After Jesse listens to the voicemails she wanders deeper into the house. She slips on a massive puddle of blood which leads us to Jesse’s second zombie kill. It was an over the top, covered in blood kill.

Bloody Business

Emma

With the Zombie killed, Emma, who has been hiding in the closet, decides to pop out now that its safe. Emma is apparently a combination waitress and EMT. She challenges Jesse about her bite wound. Emma doesn’t understand how Jesse has been bitten, and not showing signs of turning.

Bitten

This leads to a common trope in Zombie Movies. Let’s not tell anyone else about the bite! I’m sorry, if I see people eating people and your bitten, I might let you live, but your going to have handcuffs on and a hockey mask/motorcycle helmet until I’m 100% sure your not going to turn.

With questionable decisions made Emma leads Jesse to the diner, and the small group of survivors holed up there. The survivors are the classic mix of individuals. We have the bossy gun toting owner of the diner, the old male chauvinist and his wife, the trash talker, and the nice guy.

When the generator at the diner goes out we see Roy, the owner with his back to the dark, talking loudly as he’s trying to get the generator going, which predictable results. The remaining survivors split up, with Jesse driving away with the group who wants to live while the old man and his wife decide to end things. It’s not super clear if the younger girl who stayed behind also did herself? There were three of them, and only two bullets after all.

Atlanta

On the way to Atlanta, Emma finds her sister, and her niece, but her niece didn’t make it, which results in Emma and her Sister giving up. I get what they were going for, showing how brutal live would be, but at the same time, these scenes felt a little forced.

This leads the dwindling group to seek supplies at a quickie mart, where Brandon quickly gets overrun. Again, I think I know what they were going for, but I felt like Brandon was smart enough to tap on the windows before going into the store?

On the way to the brother and sister’s family the car dies, which leads to an act of bravery as the sister’s brother makes a run for it to distract the zombies. Thankfully the older brother is fast and makes it to a truck that luckily has the keys in the ignition. This leads to a ridiculous bit of redneck shooting as a father and his two grown children decide they have to save the truck by shooting at it?

In the Uncle’s barn, we find that he’s maybe not the nice guy the survivors were hoping as he tells Jesse and the little girl that its time to receive “The Blessing”.

The Blessing

Following another played out trope, the Uncle isn’t really the Uncle, and he’s not interested in helping the girls. As he’s prepping what looks like a bomb the little girl’s brother creates a distraction by driving over mines? Why the hell does the vehicle got explosions around it?

The brother rescues the girls, but he’s been shot and dies along with the truck. No, it’s not really explained why the girls end up walking after he bites the big one.

Hickock45

As the girls are walking along the road they are swarmed by Zombies, which is when Hickock45 shows up to the save the day. I feel like the directors at this point knew this was a dud, and tried to leverage a few YouTube stars to try and guarantee that at least their viewers would buy/rent the movie.

Hickock45 Teaching Jesse To Shoot

The whole Hickock45 and Matt from Demo Ranch felt completely shoehorned into the movie, and while fans of their channels might want to see Strain 100 just for that reason, I have to be honest with you that it’s a little painful to watch. I love Hickock45 and Matt, but their scenes in Strain 100 didn’t really add anything to the story and felt very forced.

As Jesse and her ward go to leave Hickock45s house, we find out that Grace, the kid, was bitten. This leads to the obligatory scene where Jesse has to put the kid down and bury her by the side of the road, complete with a little stick cross.

Strain 100 ends with Jesse reaching Atlanta, where she meets up with a gun toting security guard badass. The security guard apparently brings Jesse inside to watch her moms final recording. Her mom has known her daughter has some super human immunity, and with the package she gave Tory, the security guard, she believes there might be hope for humanity.

The movie just kind of suddenly ends with Tori driving Jesse away on a motorcycle as she blasts away at Zombies, taking Jesse to another lab in Washington which leads to a WTF ending where Skynet is distributing the cure made from Jesse’s blood.

WTF?

Strain 100 Score

Strain 100 earned a score of 42/100, putting it in the Rainy Day Movie Category. The first thirty minutes of Strain 100 were on track to earn a score in the low 70’s but the scenes at the diner cost the movie a few points and then things quickly went downhill from there. The other issue with the movie is the general atmosphere. The acting was B+ but the dialogue was often a little hokey and peoples reactions didn’t quite fit the gravity of the situation. Everyone seems a little too relaxed after having seen multiple people get attacked, eaten, and bitten. The other issue I had was the whole religion/reason for the Zombie Apocalypse. It’s been done in a ton of other movies, and quite frankly, done better.

In the end Strain 100 doesn’t really break any new ground. It suffers from feeling like someone watched a bunch of other zombie movies and tried to write a movie script using what they thought were the best parts of those movies, but everything doesn’t quite feel like it fits together smoothly, or at all. There are a lot of jagged edges to the story, and the atmosphere never quite feels right for the Apocalypse. If your going to watch Strain 100, save it for a rainy day when your having a few drinks.

When the Fever Breaks (2019)

When the Fever Breaks doesn’t waste any time getting into the action. A small group of survivors is locked inside a house while the Zombies are outside, ravaging the town.

There are several adult survivors inside, including a young man who’s been bitten, and one small girl. We quickly learn that surviving the initial fever isn’t a clear sign of things getting better, and our main character Skye, gets bitten in the process.

The rest of the movie is Skye trying to defend herself and her daughter. The other survivors saw what happened to their first infected friend, and there is mounting pressure to do something about Skye.

Things follow a predictable score, right up to the very end. I won’t spoil the final ending, but let me know in the comment below if you saw it coming like I did.

When the Fever Breaks Scoring

When the Fever Breaks scored a 41/100, putting it at the lower end of Rainy Day Movies. What cost When the Fever Breaks points? There is a good bit of overacting combined with what a lot of apocalyptic movies suffer from. Some of the people are panicked while others don’t appear to believe what’s going outside, even though you can look out the windows and see it with your own eyes. The general mood isn’t’ consistent between the survivors. The mood just doesn’t fit between all of them.

I’d say the special effects are a C+ and the cinematography is about the same.

Zombie Wars (2007)

Zombie Wars starts with a voiceover. A young lady is explaining that they don’t know what started the Zombie Apocalypse. Or it spread by a comet (Night of the Comet anyone?) Others said it was god punishing mankind. Whatever the case, fifty years have passed since the zombies have overrun humanity, and now they are taking prisoners, breeding humans like farm animals.

The surviving humans live in camps and train from birth to fight. It is the only way to survive in a world where they are food. Our “good guy” survivors free humans bred for food, hoping to educate and turn them into more freedom fighters if they can.

Two brothers free several young woman from Zombie enslavement, complete with B grade special effects and awkward dialogue. Back at the camp the girls caged for their own protection. As Zombie slaves they don’t know English, but the Zombies did see fit to keep them clean and clothed, which does seem odd doesn’t it?

That night the Zombies find the camp, overrunning it. The Zombies take one of the brothers and his new female friend. They are lead to the Zombie camp and left together. I guess they are going to be used to breed and make more food?

The plot doesn’t get a lot better. There is some infighting, politics, but in the end the movie just doesn’t hit on all cylinders.

Zombie Wars Scoring

Zombie Wars scored a 21/100, putting it in Just Bad territory. The main thing that cost Zombie Wars points was the quality of the dialogue, the low quality special effects, and some of the acting was fairly wooden and silly. Combined with a well trodden storyline, there just wasn’t anything here that hasn’t been done better elsewhere.

Unless you are really bored, and just have nothing left to watch, I’d pass on Zombie Wars.

Block Z (2020)

Block Z is a Filipino Zombie movie that takes place at a medical school. PJ is dropped off by her father at San Lazaro University after a short, emotional car ride between father and daughter. It appears he’s late on tuition, and doesn’t have the money to follow through.

Oddly, Block Z starts with subtitles, then switches to English, then has intermittent dialogue that is in subtitles. I don’t really mind, it’s just a little back and forth.

PJ And The Squad

PJ and her squad are in medical school and the school is broken down by social groups. The groups appear to be based on the student’s “block”. Some of the translations may be off, but I’m not sure. You’ll see what I mean if you watch it. Small bits of subtitles that seem off.

As PJ is starting her day in a clinic, her father, Mario accidentally hits a pedestrian. This leads him back to the emergency room where PJ is working. As Mario brings in his accident victim PJ is going to treat a patient who has what should be small injury. The patient has been bitten.

The patient is a female who has been bitten on her ankle. As PJ and her pre med friend examine the patient, the patient goes into shock. Angry veins slowly covers the patient’s brow. The woman then codes and is pronounced dead.

Patient 0

Patient 0

At least for a little while. Two other pre med students are in Patient 0’s room when she comes back. One of them is quickly pulled down as the other runs for it. This leaves the door open so that Patient 0 and her first pre med victim can escape. The two Zombies attack the triage unit and all hell breaks loose.

Patient 0 About To Spread The Infection Further

This shortly spreads o the gym. The coach gets his nose bitten off and the basketball team gets destroyed. The cheerleaders are next, which quickly turns into an all out infection. The school has been overrun.

PJ has survived, and so has her father, but they have been separated. PJ’s father is with the young man he hit with his car. The young man wants money. He has also been bitten. Of course the young man turns, and appears to bite PJ’s father, but we aren’t quite sure yet. One of the other student doctors, Lucas, show’s up, saving PJ’s father for the moment.

Lucas & PJ

Lucas ends up finding PJ just in time. She was in the Chancellor’s office after he was bitten in the initial outbreak. Lucky for PJ, Lucas manages to save the day for her as well.

In the chaos, students and patients try to make it outside, but they find their way blocked. The military has blocked the main gates. As Zombies push the survivors out into the open the soldiers panic, opening fire on Zombies and survivors alike.

While the slaughter is going on, the son of a privileged military commander calls his father for help. His father tells him to be ready at 5AM for a helicopter rescue – but only for two people.

Survivors

We now have two groups of survivors. PJ with a few fellow students, and her father who is with the security guard, Bebeth and Patient 0’s young daughter, Ruby. They are hiding out in the kitchen storeroom where they are safe for the moment.

Ruby enjoys some ice cream while Mario and Bebeth share some booze Bebeth’s coworker hid there.

Mario And Bebeth Talking About Their Children

The two are discussing their children when the lights go out and the red emergency lights come on.

Out in the parking lot PJ is with her small group of medical student survivors, trying to make their way across the parking lot. The rich student puts them all at risk by making a run for it just before the generators die. This results in the Zombies spotting PJ and Lucas in the open.

Crossing The Parking Lot Disaster

The group gets split up by the zombies. Lucas and PJ end up crawling under cars in a garage full of the undead. They just barely escape with their lives.

The Church

The group reunites not far away at the church. Thankfully someone had the sense to ask Lucas what his wound is from, making sure he wasn’t bitten.

As the church bells ring the group realizes they are surrounded. They grab what weapons they can find and begin a desperate fight to survive. They fight off the initial few zombies, but a massive horde is coming for them.

The Horde Cometh

Lucas steps forward but before he can strike the first zombie is blown away. Dad and Bebeth have shown up just in time to save the day.

Mario And Bebeth Save The Day

Mario and PJ hug it out but Mario was saved earlier by Lucas, and Lucas told Mario he had to go look for his “girlfriend”. I love the fact that in the midst of people eating people Dad (Mario) is still worried about his daughter’s love life. PJ goes around and says, friends, friends, friends to everyone there.

Friends

For the moment Mario is mollified and the survivors are safe.

Dressing Wounds

PJ dresses Lucas’s glass cut wounds while he has a pity party for himself. He thinks he could have saved some of the others. PJ tells him she should be thanking him and they look like they are going to kiss. At least until Mario comes by and coughs in their direction.

As the medical students discuss the virus and what it might be Ruby wanders over to a very dark stairway. She is only kept from going down by Mario’s intervention.

The rich kids girlfriend mentions the rescue as they are standing in the church, and he is forced to admit there will only be room for two people. He says he didn’t think there would be this many survivors by now. What a d*ck! He then proceeds to basically say the guard (Bebeth) and the older guy (Mario) should be left behind with the kid (Ruby). Why? Because they will just slow the medical students down.

Lucas, being a good, moral person says they can’t leave anyone behind, but the rich kid (Gelo) doesn’t agree.

Time to Move

The group then agrees to move on to the Library. This leads the group into a lot of growling, angry zombies. As Bebeth is opening a locked door Ruby sees her mother, who is now a hungry Zombie. The kid goes running into the midst of the biters to get to her mom.

Ruby Gets Eaten

While the survivors scream in horror, Ruby is devoured. Gelo takes the moment of distraction to screw over his friends. He locks the gate that Bebeth just opened, stranding his friends on the Zombie side.

There are apparently a lot of gates at this medical school. Even though Gelo locked them out the rest of the survivors are (barely) able to make it to another gated hallway and lock the biters on the far side.

The Dormitory

It is now 1:44:08 AM, and the action has moved on to the Dormitory.

The Dormitory

Bebeth is heartbroken. She had bonded with Ruby and likely blames herself for what happened. This transitions into a brief interlude where Mario plays the guitar before the others do a time check. They need to be at the hospital by 5AM.

PJ goes to use the restroom. When she pulls her hand back she realizes the doorknob is covered in blood.

Bloody Door Knob

Of course there is a zombie inside the bathroom. This leads to Mario jumping in to save his daughter, and getting bit in the process. PJ is in denial about what it means, but the others realize what’s about to happen. Mario begs Bebeth to shoot him, but PJ intervenes. Mario shuts the door on the bathroom so his daughter won’t have to see him turn.

The group leaves him to his fate while Bebeth leads the remaining survivors to the pool. They don’t get far before Myles gets attacked in a storeroom and gets bitten. Bebeth gives him a handgun with four bullets before the dwindling survivors move on.

Good Aim

Apparently Myles has genetic good aim. He places his first two shots into zombie heads before wasting his last two. He’s dry firing and screaming as the zombie horde descends on him.

Bebeth holds the stairwell with her shotgun as the other flee. They are forced to jump into the pool when they have no other escape.

Stranded In The Pool

Lucky for the survivors the Zombies are afraid of the water. Even more lucky, Erika can’t live without Myles. She’s willing to get eaten as a distraction so that PJ and Lucas can escape.

PJ and Lucas make it to the medical ward only to find it overflowing with Zombies. They flee to the roof as their only escape.

The Rooftop

The Hospital Rooftop

Lucas is worried about the door giving way but is able to help PJ climb to the next level before the roof gives way. The wound on his arm from earlier in the night is holding PJ back. Lucas does the only thing you can do when your on a roof and about to get eaten. He jumps over the edge, leading a small horde with him as he goes.

The team is now down to one survivor. PJ is left, but as she’s lying on the helipad she realizes she’s been bit when she checks her watch.

PJ’s Bite

Instead of waiting for the helicopter, PJ goes back down into the building, grabbing an axe in the process.

Getting The Axe

PJ Goes On The Attack

PJ does fairly well at first, but as she continues into the building she ends up getting bitten multiple times. Pesky Zombies!

PJ has realized that she’s not turning, and figures that her father might not have turned either. She’s been heading back to her father since grabbing the axe.

Once she reunites with Mario she explains that they are somehow immune. Then she breaks the news that no rescue is coming. They need to get back to the church in the hopes that the old WW2 tunnels will lead them to safety. Lucky for them, the WW2 tunnels have electric lights.

WW2 Tunnels

Unfortunately for Mario and PJ, even though the tunnels are conveniently lit, they also contain a just about to turn Gelo. Gelo’s pissed that someone else might get to live when he’s clearly not going to. Mario fights off Gelo long enough to let PJ escape before they both flee to the surface.

Things on the street don’t look great, but at least PJ finds a weapon fairly quickly and strikes a brave, combative pose.

A Girl And Her Gun

As PJ clutches her weapon the audio switches to a voiceover. There is a typhoon coming and everyone should flee.

We then cut over to PJ finding Lucas and telling the band behind her that they are taking him with them before the credits roll.

Block Z Scoring

Block Z scores a 44/100, put it in Rainy Day territory, so safe it for one of those days where you are locked inside and there isn’t a lot else to do. Why did Block Z score a 44?

Part of the reason is the mix of English and Filipino which means you will be reading subtitles, listening to English, then switching back and forth as the dialogue changes. I found it a bit disruptive, which is sad, because the action scenes were actually pretty good.

The main reason though is the ending. It ends abruptly and honestly feels like a set up for a future film, but doesn’t really have a satisfying ending. PJ and Mario climb up onto the street and then it’s left to our imagination as to what happens.
